Ian Grant Mackay

I am interested in finding information on this person. He was born 30 June 1913 in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England. He married a Margaret Edden who was born on 3 April 1913 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England. They married in 1940.

They had a daughter, Sara Louise Mackay who was born in Melbourne, Australia. I can find nothing on her. She has disappeared on the records it seems.

If you can help me with this family, please let me know.

Hello Martha,

The birth of the daughter you mentioned is very recent and it is unlikely you’ll find publicly available records for her unless she died relatively young.

You’ll find the birth of the father but possibly not the mother on FreeBMD http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

On this page possibly someone else is interested in him but the information conflicts with your own http://www.curiousfox.com/history/westr ... re_24.html

You’ll find the likely marriage of his parents the previous year. The bride was Annie.

If you search FreeBMD for a birth just using the fathers surname and the mothers maiden name in the appropriate boxes you’ll find the birth a few years later, in the same County, of a probable sibling.

Hope this helps,
Alan
